Reaching Out to Our Communities
Running a successful company goes beyond satisfying customers or shareholders.
It also incorporates employees and the community. As an employer, we have a part
to play in our community—we provide employment and, in turn, our employees improve
the overall well being of the communities in which they live.
However, as a corporation and as individuals, we strive to do much more. Helping
improve and strengthen our communities enhances the fabric of our society and enriches
all our lives. That is why Tredegar supports community groups and charities in many
of the locations where we operate, not just in monetary donations but also by our
employees donating their time and energy in support of community groups.
For example, our employees in one of our US locations organize and are involved
in Community Giving Week. Community Giving Week is a series of company-sponsored
events that will highlight the work of the local chapter of the United Way organization
and encourage employee support of this not-for-profit organization through involvement
and donations. The great work the United Way does through its programs includes
support of children at risk, fighting homelessness and providing support for older
adults.
